THREE EASY STEPS…
1. REGISTER A USER ACCOUNT. Fill in your desired username and an active email address. You will receive an email with a password and a link to the site’s login screen.
2. EDIT YOUR PROFILE. Once you log into your account, it will automatically take you to the “Write Post” function, but before you write your letter, please click on the “Profile” tab and edit your password to something you can remember in the future. Fill out anything else in the profile that you like. Please feel free to use a pseudonym if you want to remain anonymous — just fill in the nickname you want to use as your ID on this site.
3. WRITE YOUR LETTER. Now you can return to the “Write” tab. The tools in the post editor are similar to those found in most email software. Please fill out the survey below the text editor. Click “Save” or “Save and Continue Editing” to save your letter as a draft, and click “Publish” when you are ready for the letter to appear in the site’s blog.
Basic Guidelines: There are a few ground rules that we ask contributors to this site to kindly follow.
- Do Not Name Names. Please do not name any specific people or specific church names as this will go against the spirit of the website as a place to create constructive dialogue.
- Be Articulate. By no means do we want to censor your thoughts or feelings, but we also ask that you refrain from using excessive profanity to express them.
- Use the Comments to Clarify Your Thoughts. As reflected in our guidelines for comment writers, it is the intention of the site administrators that the comments remain respectful and constructive. Despite our best intentions, there will be commenters that may attempt to debate you, proselytize, or otherwise offend you. Please be patient and extend forebearance, and use the comment function to constructively clarify your letter in reply to your entry’s responses.
SCREEN CAPTURES (For those that prefer visual instructions.)
REGISTER. Choose a username. Be sure to provide a valid email address because your password will be emailed to you.
EDIT YOUR PROFILE. Be sure to change your password to something you’ll remember. Also, you can fill in your name and include any other info about yourself that you like. Feel free to use a pseudonym if you want to remain anonymous — just fill in a nickname for use on this site.
WRITE YOUR LETTER. The text editor is much like an email program. You can cut and paste text into the editor but be sure it is plain text and not something already formatted by MS Word. To get plain text, just save your document as a file with the .txt extension before you copy its contents over.
SURVEY & FORM SUBMISSION. Filling out the survey info helps place your letter in context relative to the other submissions and makes this site more useful. You can click “Save and Continue Editing” as you work to keep a draft or your work saved to the system. But your letter will not appear on the site’s blog until you click the “Publish” button.
